Actually, first they were considering to let Hungary go, but that would have seemed not very consequent in Soviet policy, so the uprising was crushed.

My brother-in-law and his sister are Hungarian. Their parents bribed border guards to get out and make it to Canada.
The Hungarians unfortunately thought that the U.S. would come and help them. But the U.S. didn't because that was considered soviet territory after WWII. The Soviets dealt with the uprising very severely!! They sent in tanks and 2 divisions of the Russian Army the Hungarian leader was shot and so were all who were caught in the uprising.
My brother-in-laws mother and father were lucky they had enough money to escape. Some who were caught trying to cross the border were also shot.

The USSR sent in troops to remove the government and install a puppet adminstration. As they had heavy modern equipment and reasonably well trained troops they soon suppressed the resistance by armed civilians - despite the courage the Hungarians displayed.

The USSR came in and stomped them.

With overwhelming might - and the UK couldn't say anything because it had just been involved in the disastrous and illegal Suez affair.
